Designed with ecological materials alongside extensive community input, the Samil restoration employs recycled-plastic benches in retreating boardwalk designs to bolster dune habitat recovery.

Overview

  • The Samil beach regeneration, backed by a €1.8 million investment, has restored its dune system and expanded the shoreline by 25 meters, with works set to finish by mid-July.
  • Vigo’s mayor and the central government have pledged to extend similar dune-restoration and boardwalk retracement projects to additional stretches of the city’s coastline.
  • The Ministry for Ecological Transition has opened bids for a roughly €30 million contract to transfer nearly one million cubic meters of sand from an offshore Cullera deposit to Sagunt and Canet d’en Berenguer.
  • Sagunt and Canet city councils welcomed the tender launch as a critical advance while neighborhood associations remain vigilant over gravel removal and long-term beach stability measures.
  • Officials plan to finalize a public access route to Toralla Island after the summer to ensure continued access to Spain’s maritime-terrestrial domain.
